to draw a line

dirty brick wall
with broken glass
dirty big house
and i have to ask

if i climbed your fuckin wall
and sliced my hand
would you say that
that was just as planned?

would call the police before
you come to my aid?
would you shrug and say
it’s the price to be paid

to separate
what is yours from mine
and the blood that is spilled
just a line

that you repeat
over and over again
holding me out
by holding you in
